Who's been there? Just how fucking awesome is it? Anything to consider before going there?

For me flight tickets won't be a problem but finding a bed for the night will be. Hostels and hotels are expensive as fuck during the festivities I've noticed. Do any getbiggers out there know of a way to get around that? What if I bring a tent of my own and set up a camp site? Would that get me in to trouble?

I went in December and it was awesome. Germans take that shit seriously, Christmas that is. Was gonna go to octoberfest day after my wedding, but it was the last day so it wasn't worth it. Who would've thought it was actually in September

What was awesome, Munich?

Munich is a great city and you can have tons of fun all year round, just at the Okotberfest it is run over by US, Italian and other idiots and the prices in the city triple.

Christmas markets are fun if you don't have them every year with the same shit, lol.

For a Germany trip, I would prefer Munich and Bavaria over Berlin every day.

Better food, people are nicer, city is cleaner, way better beer.

Yes, Berlin reminded me of any big city. Munich, the people were very friendly. Went to a bar/restaraunt there, hung out with a waitress and bartender, and me and my wife talked to them until they closed and then still hung out for an hour. I'm thinking of going back this winter for two weeks. I'd like to see Prague as well this time.

a german christmas market came to my city a few years back. it was a fucking embarrassing disaster for us. hardly any fucker went. it was awful walking through town with these poor twats manning empty market stalls. eventually they packed up and pissed off back to deutchland after a little over a week. they've never been back

Christmas MarketThis year, Bradford has had a German Christmas Market, where traders from Germany (and a few other European countries) have set up stalls over here to sell their wares in the run-up to Christmas. German markets have been increasingly popular in many British cities and Bradford, desperate to attract people to the city centre, signed up for a market to run for 4 weeks.This would be the start of week 3 of the market, but theyíre already packing up to go home.Unfortunately, barely anyone has actually visited the market. I walk through it on my home from work each day and it has been almost dead. A couple of weeks ago I took a few photos, which look fantastic but also show how deserted it was.Bradford is in an unfortunate situation where a significant part of the city centre has been demolished to make way for the now-mothballed Westfield Bradford development. More and more shops are closing and new shops arenít opening, since the customers arenít there Ė Bradford is so close to Leeds that people will probably prefer to go there, with its greater range of shops and many more independent retailers. Consequently, no companies are willing to invest in a shop in Bradford.This is why we canít have nice things, like German markets.Update: Wakefield has also had problems with its German market which has also finished earlier than planned.

Prague is nice too, but too many gypsies and the other annoying thing is that people will scam you. A lot of restaurants in Prague have two menues, one in English for tourists and one for the locals, tourists pay double or more sometimes. People in Prague got fucking pissed when I always asked for a Czech menu for me.

I highly recommend Heidelberg for the Christmas market. They also have it within the old castle itself now (5-17 December), which is even better than down in the Hauptstrasse. And HD is not too far from Munich.

Yes it's tacky. Yes, it's commercialized. But the people are friendly, the gluhwein and almonds are warm, and the views are great.

Full disclosure: never gotten a blowjob in public there. Which is good, because I'd cum freeze-dried fish pellets during wintertime.

This delightful woman went to Germany to participate in Oktoberfest. She threw on a dirndl and slammed several beers. Then she completely lost her mind. This is the most batshit insane video youíll see this week.

On one hand, it does look like she was provoked. On the other hand, WHY ARE YOU BITING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING ON THE LIP?

I mean, did somebody spike her beer with crystal meth? Dear God woman.
